Merry Christmas, best holiday wishes, and seasons greetings
The holiday season is upon us, and out at the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area seasons greetings abound. Out at the South West Off Leash Recreation Area, a note waves in the breeze wishing one and all a Merry Christmas. A little further along the path, a Scot Pine is decorated. The note welcomes further contributions if anyone wishes to grow the decorations on this little tree for Christmas.
Little plastic covers are attached to the Christmas note. These plastic bags would hold photos of your favourite pet to commemorate them on the SW OLRA Christmas Tree.
The seasonal note ends with a wonderful blessing to “please enjoy and all the best of the holiday season.”
There has been a lot of fog these past few days. Today, boxing day, the cloud cover along with the fog has dissipated but not the winter wonderland. The hoar frost and rime ice combination has still made most beauteous scenes. As the sun shines, the wonderful effect may dissipate, so come out and enjoy while it lasts!

“Rime frost or rime ice forms in the fog as water droplets in the air freeze on surfaces. With heavy fog around…a, the conditions were perfect for ice to form with temperatures below the freezing mark and very light winds. As the winds slowly pick up, the fog will dissipate.
Hoar frost, on the other hand, forms with different circumstances. This type of frost will form when dew freezes to the colder surface, much the same as rime ice, but hoar frost will typically form in clear conditions.”source
